Abuja - Winnie Madikizela-Mandela has come out firmly and vehemently in favour of sexual abstinence as the only efficient way to fight the spread of Aids.

Speaking at the International Conference on Aids and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Africa (ICASA) in Abuja, Nigeria, on Thursday, Madikizela-Mandela said: "We just have to tell our children to abstain. That's the only way we will prevent Aids as mothers on the continent.

"And we tell our daughters it's a very simple remedy, it's called abstinence."

We'll see if her call will fall into deaf ears of UN crowds.

[RandallFlagg]

Is she a member of Rush 24-7?

[bikerman]

Wont work,teenage hormones will override, safe sex education by the parents is what is needed.

[paudio]

There are millions teenagers that practiced no-sex. It's a matter of value. Won't be easy, of course, with all kind of things going on TV, movies, etc. But it can be done.

[G.Mason]

What happened, did they run out of used tires, or is the oil used for lighting them too costly?

[ZULU]

Too bad her mother and her husband's mother didn't feel the same way.

[Simmy2.5]

On one hand, I applaud what she just said. However, from what I understand about Winnie, she is still a criminal.

[john drake]

She forgot to tell the male members of her society that they need to abstain, too. As long as they can mess with the prostitutes they"ll just be bringing home the various diseases< including AIDS that is contributing to the destruction of the future of their continent>

[stephenjohnbanker]

Maybe now!

(Winnie) Mandela said: "We just have to tell our children to abstain. That's the only way we will prevent Aids as mothers on the continent.

And if that don't work, why, then we'll just cut your arms off at the elbows and maybe put a burning tire around your neck.

That woman is a criminal and should have been prosecuted long ago.

At the very least, she should never be given an opportunity to spew her crap, whatever the subject.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Agreed.

Just like a broken clock that is right twice daily, a criminal sometimes says/does the right thing.

[bert]

I thought this was going to be a Winnie the Pooh thread about not having sex with your new red head girlfirend.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Murdering communist Mandela.

[Delta 21]

I have heard that it makes you stop getting pregnant too! Who wouolda thunk it?

[Sonny M]

This from a woman who molested a child.

[RichInOC]

I guess rubbers weren't working. Even the big, burning ones.

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

"Wont work,teenage hormones will override, safe sex education by the parents is what is needed."

What is really need is for mothers to teach their teen daughters how to put condoms on cucumbers using their mouths.

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

need = needed

[joesnuffy]

Winney says no to sex and yes to necklacing...
